| | Customer Reviews: Good Beginner Camera, light on quality construction. (27 July 2010)Good startup camera for point and shoot. There is a real difference in the quality of the construction between this and other Canon products I've owned. Slow focus. Good picture quality. Features are very helpful giving options to "auto mode" I think I would go up a model or two next time. Great Camera for the Price (26 July 2010)My daughter used and older model of this camera in her digital photography class and fell in love with it. I purchased the up dated version and we are all please with the camera. Has plenty of extras and video and prints come out clear. Great camera for the price. This Camera Kicks ASS! (23 July 2010)As I look at some of the other reviews I am wondering a few things: 1. Are these folks reviewing the same camera? 2. Did they get a broken/faulty one? 3. Did someone in their family drop it w/o their knowing? 4. Did they sniff a considerable amount of glue before operating it? I'm not trying to be a jerk but this camera kicks! I have had other Canon cameras, there are a few I looked at that I absolutely did not like and would not buy. But this one is the least expensive ELPH with the latest D4 processor, as usual it has WAY too many functions. Last week at the zoo I mastered the rapid fire photo mode, anyone with a 4 y/o will appreciate that mode and it works great to catch memories-in-motion. I caught expressions that I normally miss. You will need a large data card but I deleted the unwanted extra frames when reviewing on my pc. Movie clip mode is even better than my other two Canons A500 series and A80, [four and eight years old]. It does have more settings and noticed the full auto function tends to over flash a bit indoors causing some wash-out, but like any product you have to get to know your camera! We tend to expect gizmos to do all of the thinking for us, that is an unrealistic expectation. I told my wife try full auto flash and try it w/o for best results in different conditions. I have noticed that eventhough cameras now have a huge screen to instantly check your picture folks don't...they shoot away without giving it a second thought. Then they get home and are pissed when the pic's suck, well it's not always the cameras fault. A lot of times I have caught my wife taking pic's with the camera in the wrong shoot mode...Oops! maybe one day cameras will talk, "hey dummy! I'm in the wrong mode." But until then learn your camera and experiment with it!!! We have lost our share of one-time memories to pilot-error. Everything's great except the speed of storing picture and moving on to the next (19 July 2010)Except the fact that it takes sometime after taking one picture to move on to the next ready state, everything's satisfactory. Small Point & Shoot Camera with a Viewfinder (15 July 2010)This small Point-and-Shoot digital camera was purchased because it also has a viewfinder. I have found that it is extremely difficult to compose a picture in bright sunlight using an LCD screen as in most Point-and Shoot cameras. And I was familiar with the excellent quality of the pictures from this model because my daughter has the same camera. The two newer powershot models (1300 & 1400) do not have viewfinders which I consider is a big mistake! |
